SELASSIE IS THE CHAPEL

Planno gave Marley his coming-out song as a Rastafarian, 'Selassie Is The Chapel'. Over the slow Nyabinghi drum track, Marley chanted, "Haile Selassie is the Chapel, Power of the Trinity, Conquering Lion of Judah, he's the King of Kings." Only 26 copies of the recording were pressed.

MR. ROBERT NESTA MARLEY'S GURU

The most revered Rastafarian in Jamaica and Mr. Robert Nesta Marley's guru. I forgot I took this portrait in 1979.

BROTHER KUMI & THE LEGEND DISCUSS SURVIVAL

I was to take this photograph in 1980 whilst working on probably the only Rastafarian newspaper ever published. Survival. In the frame are Mr. Robert Nesta Marley, left, the publisher, and second right, Mr. Mortimo Planno, the editor. Mr Planno, or 'Brother Kummi', was the gentleman who taught Mr. Marley the principles of Rastafari and other things. It has recently come to ones attention that this is a rare image capturing both together. This photograph will adorn the book, PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND OTHER FOLKS, due to be published in August, 2012.
